Honest comparison

Printer's Friend vs Trello

Kanban boards, used as a production board. Here's how we stack up.

Pick Trello if you only need a shared to-do board. Pick Printer's Friend if the cards should be real orders with money, artwork and due dates attached.

Trello models the board well and knows nothing about the job. It cannot price a garment, hold a supplier SKU, generate an invoice or take an artwork approval. Printer's Friend gives you the board plus the order underneath it.

On pricing

We publish our own pricing on the pricing page, in your currency. We do not quote Trello's numbers here, because we have not verified them recently and a stale figure is worse than none .

When Trello is the better choice

Trello is the better fit for tracking non-production work: marketing, maintenance, hiring.
